Project Name:Shoal Project Credits: Troika Project Brief Description: "We aim not to replace nature but to interpret it", says the design collective Troika's Eva Rucki. Shoal, a new multimedia installation inspired by natural phenomena, has been created for the Corus building on Toronto's waterfront at Queens Quay East. This particular coastline is a battleground between the man-made environment and nature The objective was to make a reintegration of nature along the 50 meter long passage in the building which leads to the lake. Spanning this corridor, 467 fish-like objects wrapped in iridescent dichroic acrylic foil and suspended from the ceiling rotate rhythmically around their own axis, displaying the movements and interdependency typical of shoals of fish. With no added lighting, the fish take on a different color from different angles, driven by stepper motors.
